I feel for them. I really do. I just couldn't imagine never being able to just be alone. Not even for just one single second. Everyone needs time alone sometimes.
I mostly feel for when one of them dies for whatever reason, old age, one’s sides organs get cancer but the others side is fine, etc. Since their body relies on each other, once one goes, it’s just a ticking time clock till your own death. Then the emotional toil of losing the person you’re closest with your entire life… That shits scary imo. Losing that person, losing your sister, and knowing you’re next and soon. Like how does one prepare for that?
This is actually a horrifying thought. Once one dies... is her... head going to be removed from their shared body? Since it's dead? My belief is that when one dies, the other one will die very, very shortly after, because they do share most of their organs
This is one of the most uncomfortable scenes in American Horror Story, a show with a shitload of uncomfortable scenes (spoilers obviously).
In a dream in Freak Show, when one of the conjoined twins dreams her sister dies, and she’s just lying there while her literal other half is stone-dead, and she can feel herself rotting from the inside out. She also cries because she can’t hear her sisters thoughts anymore, and she’s alone for the first time in her entire life. Fucking grim.
the only way I see one twin being able to live on is if the other passes from something that only hurts the one brain, and even then im not sure if the other brain would be able to fully control the body
